[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one other than other red-shirters believes your reasons. We all know you are giving your child an advantage by ploppping them ahead of the line. At least own it. [/quote]

I am sorry you are wrong! I am sending my DD (who is 1 week shy of the cutoff)  when she wil be anout  to turn 6 instead of 5 and I am not doing it so she can get better grades than the other kids. I would never do it for this reason because I think she will become smarter if pushed ahead instead of held back. I am doing it because I want her to fit in and be proud of herself. She is a bit shy and I have seen her following the tougher (older ) girls around as they sometimes even make fun of her or tell her that she can’t play with them. I felt very  sad for her.  Now that she is in class with basically same age kids or younger she is sooo much better. Happy, always has friends, everyone always wants to play with her, etc. it was the best decision I could have made for her. If she ever gets bored, I will supplement. I doubt this will happen since she is only a month older than the October kids.

I am sure my DD would have been able to keep up with the academics one year earlier, but she is much happier now.[/quote]
